Lamella Tube Settler Media
SOLID CONTACT CLARIFIERS:
A flocculating clarifier, such as a Lamella Tube Settler MediaContact reactor, is a type of water treatment system used for solids separation and clarification processes. It utilizes a combination of mechanical and physical processes to remove suspended solids from water.
The Lamella Tube Settler MediaContact reactor incorporates several design variations, with more than ten options available. The specific design depends on factors such as basin design (including inlet location, mechanism support, and flow rate). The units can be installed in round or square basins made of steel or concrete.
The process applications of a flocculating clarifier include:
Surface water clarification: It is used to remove suspended particles and turbidity from surface water sources, such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.
Iron and manganese removal: The clarifier helps in the removal of dissolved iron and manganese from water, which can cause discoloration and unpleasant tastes or odors.
Cold lime softening: Lime is added to the water to precipitate calcium and magnesium ions, thereby reducing water hardness.
Heavy metals precipitation: The clarifier can assist in the removal of heavy metals, such as lead, copper, and zinc, from industrial wastewater or contaminated water sources.
The flocculating clarifier is designed with a propeller for internal solids recirculation, which promotes the formation of flocs (aggregates of fine particles) that settle more efficiently. Additionally, the variable settling area allows for optimized solids separation based on the specific application and flow rate requirements.
In operation, water enters the clarifier tangentially at the base of the unit and spirals upward. As it moves upward, the flocculated particles settle due to gravity, forming a sludge layer at the bottom. The clarified water collects in an effluent collection trough located at the top of the basin and is then discharged.
Multiple units of the flocculating clarifier can be installed in parallel to handle higher flow rates and achieve greater clarification capacity.
Overall, the flocculating clarifier is an effective and versatile system used in water treatment processes to remove suspended solids, improve water quality, and meet various treatment objectives.
Sludge Thickener is commonly used to thicken backwash water waste from filters and sludge blow down from clarifiers. The thickeners can be designed for intermittent or continuous operation. High torque, open gear drives are used for collection of settled sludge.
